Hey everyone
Well all the power tools have been pushed off to the side, I've squeezed my wife's car into the garage (first time since last July) the hurricane shutters are up, I've cajoled another friend to store my car in his garage and we're running around trying to figure out what we've forgotten.
We leave tomorrow morning for France and to see our "canal boat" for the first time. Major leap of faith -- our partners in the boat (also dear sailing friends) told us they had bought in 8 years previously without seeing the boat and they had never had a second thought. So, the nut wasn't too big, and the idea of spending 2 1/2 months putting around France on the canals seemed too enticing so, off we go.
Needless to say, I don't know if I'll be able to get much SMC time in (depends on internet cafe access) but I'll be thinking about you and look forward to seeing what you all did over the summer.
